73MERÓ'S AUSPICIOUS START.
74Hungarian Pianist Begins Her Tour with Four New England Appearances That Inspire Critics to Superlative Praise.
76It is scarcely four years ago that Yolanda Méró was first introduced to the concert goers and music loving public of this country. In that short space of time she has been heard in nearly every one of the larger cities of the Union, and the unanimous note of approval which her art evoked from both the public and the critics, has stamped her as one of the best pianists of her sex today. Indeed the frequency with which the reviewers in the press have compared her style, temperament, virility and technic to Teresa Carreño as she used to be in her halcyon days, leaves no room for doubt, that although nearly thirty-five years her junior, in Yolanda Méró, Hungary has given to the world another talent sure of international fame.
78But it is not alone by comparison that this young artist shines; it is as well by reason of her own individuality, her deep intelligence and her thorough musicianship. She captivates her audiences from the moment of her entry upon the stage, and her engaging personality adds not a little to the magnetic charm with which she fascinates her hearers.
80It is therefore not surprising that in her opening concerts in New England (being the first of a series of four arranged by Albert Steinert in Worcester, Portland, Me.; Providence and Springfield) she again drew forth salvoes of enthusiastic praise from the critics. The Worcester Evening Gazette, for instance, says in part: "Her playing can always be classified with one word, superb," and later on, "She is one of the best concert pianists before the public today"; and this is followed by the Worcester Daily Telegram, which affirms that "her style is distinguished for command of what musicians call tone color, and also for mental dignity and artistic power," and further, "Her splendid technic and the expression with which she played the difficult numbers, won for her instant and enthusiastic recognition from the audience.
82The same kind of encomiums come from the press of Portland. Commenting upon the concert there the Daily Press remarks:
84Her performance was so magnetic, so superb as far as technical accomplishment goes, that she carries all before her. She is undeniably dramatic, getting a splendor and power of tone that stir and thrill one most pleasurably, and then again she makes her readings poetic and fanciful, or full of color and romance, with tone painting that includes all the subtleties and nuances of color and shade.
86In dissecting her program the Portland Evening Express and Advertiser says:
88In the Chopin numbers she rose to great heights, giving to each tone is full beauty and showing unquestioned technical achievement. It is not recalled when a pianist has created more of a furor here than this charming and gifted young foreigner, and the audience greeted her effusively and demanded recall after recall.
90At the third concert held in Providence, one again finds that unanimity of critical expression which is always inspired by Mme. Méró's art. So the Providence Journal avers that "Mme. Méró's inimitable use of nuance and rubato and her wealth of imagination produce an effect that must be heard to be appreciated," and the Evening Tribune of the same city states, "The masculinity of her
